How to save user inputed data on a java program

[powerovergames]

I wrote a simple gambling game using java, and I wish to let the user to save their record(i.e # of rounds played, points gained per round) so after quitting they game, they could keep on playing intead of starting all over again. Then this game could be more addictive. Can any one tell me how to do that?

Also can you tell me how to run a .class file without running Jcreator?

I will take a look a that, but it looks beyond my current knowledge level.

A much simpler approach would be to write-to and later read-from a file:

Another approach that is suitable for a small amount of data, like user preferences, is to use java.util.prefs :

If you mean that having your compiled code in a executable like to run your program by just clicking on it, then you may need this.

I hope it helps,
